Well, read that Akshay Kumar has recently turned down a film of Yash Raj Films, the script of which was personally narrated by Aditya Chopra to Akshay Kumar. And the result? Akshay not shown in Tashan promos!!! After 4 hits last year (Heyy Babyy, Namastey London, Bhool Bhulaiyaa & Welcome) and his per film rate crossing Rs. 20 crore now, Akshay surely is on his career highs these days, but has he really reached such heights that he can afford to refuse a YRF banner film?

After welcome, Akshay’s fans were eagerly awaiting his action packed role in Yash Raj’s new film Tashan, but looks like he has not been given that much exposure in Tashan promos, well maybe the power team Chopras are just giving it back to Akshay or maybe they are trying to encash the hot-cake duo Saif & Kareena!

2007 was surely a great year for Akshay Kumar but even after 4 hits in 2007 is he considered as the super-star of bollywood? Trade Analysts surely don’t thing so. As per them, Akshay Kumar is far behind Shah Rukh Khan in the race for superstardom. Despite his hiked rate card and box office bang, I also personally think that Akshay is still not in the leagues of Aamir & Shahrukh kinda super stars. Yeah he is surely known as the hit-machine & Akshay’s movies are surely making big bucks at box office but has Akshay ever given films like Chak De, Taare Zameen Per or Rang De Basanti? I think it’s high time that our akki should focus on quality of his work than quantity!

Om Sawariya Om

So, Deepika and Ranbir are back in action again? Wondering what made Deeps dump our good ol’ Yuvi?
Here goes the story… Apparently Yuvi was very possessive, he could not live with the fact that lady Deeps
was doing really well and basking alone in the glory of OSO – hence, he felt neglected. Now, that is some free time our Vice Capt. has, thought he has his hands and mind full with professional cricket.

Anyways, coming back… when Deeps was jet-setting with Ranbir to Australia for the new flick by Siddarth Anand, it was showdown time for possessive Yuvi. He was troubled with the rumors of Deeps-Ranbir.
And so it was the great Sangam scene, the love triangle and all!

Now for Ranbir-Deeps….Deepika is it a rebound or is it Om-Saawariya-Om?

Saif n his balancing act

One bollywood person who is stealing all the limelight these days is, none other than our bebo a.k.a Kareena Kapoor. Well, there is not even a single day which passes these days without enough gossip on Saif-Kareena relationship. Be it speculation of their wedding, the famous tattoo, Kareena bonding with Saif’s son or walking hands in hands and sitting cozily in all events with beau Saif. And the latest being how Saif took care of Kareena n her mother in filmfare award function on 23rd Feb’08 & their valentine-day special trip to Goa. . In fact, media now comparing them akin to Bips-John affair, rather paying little more attention which supposedly giving Bips a lack of glam dozes.
Kareena broke up with her long standing boyfriend Shahid few months ago & since her formal acceptance of relationship with Saif, she has been one of the most sought after bollywood star these days. And the kind of lovey-dovey news these guys are creating we only hope they settled down for sure in future, remember Kareena-Shahid PDAs and those “saath jeeyenge saath marenge” kinda vibes and then the ultimate fate of that relationship, LOL.
Well, it’s quite understandble for Kareena, as they have a family history of duping their beaus at the last moment but whats wrong with Mr. Saif? Looks like the dude seriously lacks the balancing act in his life. He settles either for 12 year older Amrita Singh or 10 years younger Kareena Kapoor!!! Ummm there was Rosa mid-way but guess she was of Saif’s age & hence chote nawab decided to just not go ahead with her. Someone teach Saif that balancing act please…:-)
